    Eric is a Bissell, if my wife saw that she would puke, god she complained about our bissell forever so I bought her a Eureka. Now the house is clean daily!!

    Wierd! Half the other threads with a frame "Z'd" to that extreme is considered "non-HAMB-Friendly" and spoken of as a Rat Rod and derogatory and stuff. This one gets praise. There is no consistency here.

    BTW, the frame work looks good and it is gonna be one low bitch! Cool!

    The bissell keeps going and going, I have vacumed up all kinds of stuff with it..built strong...lol. The wife got tired of me using the house vacume for the garage so she just gave the bissell to me..

    BTW building a hot rod in a two car garage gets cramped...

    Just wondering...have you figured out where the upper bars are going to connect?
    I've done a few and that always decides where the Z is..

    Todd-a , I think the difference is when something is well built it no longer falls under the "RR" title.

    And I rock a Eureka,blue metallic,racing cam sticker and Kropduster decal !

    'Cause they are building cars that look they way THEY want them to look.

    Don't be the style police. You don't like it when other people tell you what to do, do you?;)

    Just finished a pinched A frame, kicked op 6" in the front, 16" in the back.:D

    I hope there was a table and some sort of jig involved. Jack stands dont keep it straight while youre welding it together.
